Whether you care about the response or not, it will be sent. The HTTP protocol specifications say that it must be.

If you don't care about the response, your client could just close the connection immediately after sending the request. But the chances are that you do want to know that the request was processed (i.e. the response status) even if you don't want to look at the contents of the response message.
So maybe you could send the request and request body, and read the response status and then close the connection without reading the response body. However, this has a downside. It means that you can't reuse the HTTP connection to make further requests. The next request to the same server has to open a new connection.
